Elliot Minor were ace !!!!

Elliot Minor - I saw them !!

For my birthday my friend Blake decided to buy us tickets to see Elliot Minor at Cardiff Uni. After waiting a long time for tickets, then realising that you had to show them an email and claim them there, Friday 11th April finally arrived !!!

At 7pm we arrived at the venue, the Solus Nightclub, only to realise that there was a huge que outside! No I mean huge, it was right down the street. So we joined the end and slowly but surely we got closer to getting in!

Then as we approached the doors, we realised that we were in the wrong line. We had ordered our tickets online and didn't actually have them we had to get them there. So we casually ducked under the barrier and carried on like nothing had happened!!

Furthest Drive Home

By the time we actually got in there the first warm up band was already on, Furthest Drive Home. So we immediatly joined in at the side. No long after we got there, we were joined by Leanne, Tom, Rosie and Jade.

We had a perfect view of the bassist from where we were and I couldn't help but realise how much he looked like a friend of mine, another Tom !!

Here is a photo comparing the two:

Well it did from where I was standing !!



The Higher

Next an American band, The Higher came on. Oooo !! American accents annoy me !! "How y'all doing?" Do you mean to sound like a redneck or does it just come naturally!! Anyway all in all the sang pretty well. They sang a song about ice cream !! For me that's a winner XD

Then there was a 30 minute break, in which we went outside and attacked the bands and made them have their photos taken !! Oh ! and Tom got his shoe signed !! Then after having a group drool over the various singers we decided to go back in before Elliot Minor started.

We went, we attacked and we got a photo with the band XD

As we went through the doors, I couldn't help but notice the size of the amps !! It was HUGE !

Anyway, we regrouped over the opposite side ready for the main event. Woop !!! They finally came on and the show got on the road !!

They were ace !! The crowd was quite slow to start but when it did !! We were up and bopping like the best of them!!

Yeah, that chinese one !!

We were positioned in plain sight of the chinese one. Yeah, I'm no good with names, never have been!! We were watching him for most of it. In all fairness to them they are really good live! Some bands are good when recorded but live they suck, but the chinese one and the main singer, wow I am really bad with names !!, we both really good, and the main one said he had a throat infection !! I would never have guessed !

So after a good night of hardcore raving - XD - we made our way out, unfortunatly into the pouring rain but hey it didn't matter. Our ears were ringing and in my book that's the sign of a good concert !!
